What is your role and area of expertise?

As a legal assistant my role is to assist fee earners in all aspects of residential conveyancing, including producing contracts, key correspondence and dealing with elements of exchanges and completions.

How do you approach working with clients?

I believe it is important to be approachable and friendly towards clients, whilst being professional. Clear and efficient communication is also crucial to achieve the best outcome for the client, as well as to support the fee earners.

What’s a standout achievement in your career?

I took a year out of working to study the Legal Practice Course (LPC) full time. With this being my sole focus at the time, I was able to work hard to achieve an overall distinction, as well as a Masters in Law.
